Packaging mason bee cocoons

After washing cocoons they are air dried for about an hour. Then, cocoons are candled to remove any parasitized cocoons. Cocoons are stored in fridges until packaged, and then returned to fridges until sold. Packages are first labelled. Cocoons are then selected and carefully pushed into each box. In a package of 10 there are 4 females and 6 males.
